Note to the DNC: A new poll today found 62% of Americans believe abortion is “morally wrong.”

Washington (CNN) – The Republican National Committee will free up a couple of hours during its winter meeting this January so members can attend the annual March for Life in Washington, CNN confirmed Monday.

The rally, a major event in the anti-abortion rights movement, is scheduled for January 22, when the three-day RNC winter meeting is set to begin. The date also marks the 41st anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court ruling, known as Roe v. Wade, in favor of abortion rights .

The Washington Times first reported the RNC’s decision to pause for the rally.

In a statement to CNN, GOP spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski noted this is the first time RNC members will be in Washington for the meeting at the same time as the march, and many expressed interest in attending the event.
